![]() It's a weird mix of "who done it", mystery, Sherlock, magic-something. The story was entertaining enough, but it wasn't tantalizing. I listened to the book over the course of 3 weeks for my book club. Set in a phenomenally built world in which justice is a collective force bestowed on a few, craftsmen fly on lightning bolts, and gargoyles can rule cities, Three Parts Dead introduces listeners to an ethical landscape in which the line between right and wrong blurs.Ībout the author: Max Gladstone went to Yale, where he wrote a short story that became a finalist in the Writers of the Future competition. When Tara and Abelard discover that Kos was murdered, they have to make a case in Alt Coulumb’s courts - and their quest for the truth endangers their partnership, their lives, and Alt Coulumb’s slim hope of survival. ![]() Her only help: Abelard, a chain-smoking priest of the dead god who’s having an understandable crisis of faith. ![]() Tara’s job: resurrect Kos before chaos sets in. Without him, the metropolis’ steam generators will shut down, its trains will cease running, and its four million citizens will riot. ![]() Her client is Kos, recently deceased fire god of the city of Alt Coulumb. A god has died, and it’s up to Tara, a first-year associate in the international necromantic firm of Kelethras, Albrecht, and Ao, to bring him back to life before his city falls apart. ![]()
